How are you? Now take a moment…how *are* you? This time round, I think lockdown feels harder and it’s a feeling I’m hearing quite a lot. Certainly my kids are struggling with endless Teams calls (we all know how that feels!) and in meetings people that I’m talking with are saying the same. Maybe it’s the damp and cold weather, maybe it’s the fact that somehow we feel like we’ve lost a year or maybe it’s just been too long without seeing (and hugging!) our friends and family. But it’s hard at the moment for many of us.

Is definitely: ‘If you love life, then don’t waste time, because time is what life is made of’.

Are you planning for 2018? I firmly believe that things may well happen for a reason...but also that we can help make them happen by planning for them.
